​This week we recieved our first beautiful letter from http://www.lettersfromafar.com/, which told us all about Morocco. Everyone was so excited we set up some fabulous areas in our playroom to explore and discover Moroccan culture.

We had a bright and colourful market stall with natural treasures, glass bottles, metal lamps, herbs, spices, fruits and veg. We also loved our calming mandala colouring area and camel saddling small world set up.

The children also loved getting a tast of Morocco with some chicken kebabs, vegetable tagine, cous cous and dried fruits.Our young children also have been learning about maps and atlas' as well as finding place we know on the maps.

Our little ones really enjoyed discovering the details on shells using our microscope. They created drawings of what they saw - they were very proud of them. We also had some shell shape writing practice to use, everyone had lots of fun.

This week we had a shuffle around of the furniture in our playroom. We now have an even bigger play space in the middle and more of the boxes are accessible to our youngest children. Everyone is enjoying it so far.

First we made our sheep counters with cotton wool balls, card and googly eyes.

We took our sheep outside and put them into different fields on our farm. We counted them with our magic wands and found the number sheep to match. Next we used our sheep to start exploring number problems and maths functions. We had a great time with our sheep and learnt lots.
